Surround Sound System for BDP-S7200

[jammcaul]

Hi Forum,

I have purchased a Sony BDP-S7200 player and I would like to ask what would be the most effective surround sound set-up to purchase ?

The player is connected to a Sony KDL - 55X4500 Bravia.

I previously had the Sony theatre system DAV - SB300 which is a bit outdated now so looking to upgrade significantly.

Would a soundbar be a possible substtute for a surround sound system ?

Thanks in advance,

James.

Hi James,

A soundbar might be a good option since it's compact and sounds pretty well. Anyway, surround sound is only virtual - so no real surround sound.

If you want to have real surround sound I would recommend an amplifier and 5 separate speakers - e.g. http://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/home-cinema-speakers/ss-fcr3000

Cheers
